What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is an ancient practice with roots throughout the world, including ancient Egypt, India, and Native American traditions. Sound healing is a popular method that uses different frequencies of sound vibration to calm the mind and reduce stress.
History of Sound Healing.
Sound is an ancient form of energy that, since ancient times, has had a profound impact on changing people’s moods, primarily through music. Ancient practitioners developed this technique to improve the mental well-being of people with stress and anxiety.
The history of sound healing in India goes back to ancient Vedic times. People considered sound (called ‘Nada’) a spiritual phenomenon, and practitioners of Nada Yoga utilise sound for healing, incorporating breathing to achieve spiritual balance.
About Sound healing and how it works.
Sound healing is beneficial in so many ways! It helps manage stress when time is tough, calms the mind and promotes overall well being.
Everything in the World vibrates at a balanced frequency, including the human body. And when there is an imbalance in the frequencies of sound vibration in the human body, it brings about mental stress. Sound healing balances vibrations through sound (which is also a form of vibration).
Through sound vibrations:
Sound has always had a profound impact on people’s moods, whether it is the gentle sounds of music or someone being polite to them. These vibrations of sound of different frequencies affect the mood differently. It works by using instruments typically employed by professional sound healers to create sound vibrations of various frequencies, which help manage stress and depression.
Through rhythms of sound:
The Sound healer plays the sound in a rhythm that calms the mind. These rhythmic sounds help balance the chakras and emotions, bringing the vibration of each cell in the body to a balanced level. It results in relaxation and a sense of peace.
Instruments used to perform sound healing
To create these pleasant sound vibrations, expert sound healers utilise specific instruments in sound healing. These instruments include:
Tibetan Bowl:
Sound healers use these to create sound vibration. Which calms the mind by keeping the bowl in a steady position with all corners untouched, ensuring the vibrations are perfect. Then, using a striker, it hits the sides of the bowl at different rates or powers, creating vibrations of various frequencies.
Chau Gongs:
These gongs, which originated in China, are the most widely used type for sound healing. Chau gongs produce a deep and rich sound, although the exact sound depends on the material used to make them and the technique used to play them.
Tuning fork:
Sound healers use these instruments in sound healing by creating sound vibrations of a constant frequency. They place the tuning fork between the nose, temple, and forehead, and strike it against a hard surface to create sound vibrations.
Bells and chimes:
In some traditions, bells and chimes are also used for sound healing.

Who is sound healing for?
Sound healing is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or religious affiliation.
Although sound healing benefits those who experience stress, anyone seeking relief from their daily life or desiring a sense of peace of mind also enjoys it.
In modern times, people are becoming more and more stressed because of stress from work, relationship problems, health-related problems, financial problems, and other sorts of issues in life. Therefore, managing all the accumulated stress, Sound healing can be beneficial and provide a peaceful break from these problems.
